The Empty Seat Within

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s hiding is your inner self retreating from the ego’s glare; the field is the mind’s quiet place where I AM can reappear. The new moon marks a fresh start in consciousness, a reset that invites trust rather than fear. Saul’s feast represents the outward order the ego clings to, and David’s empty seat marks a shift—not abandonment but an opportunity for alignment. The phrase 'Something hath befallen him, he is not clean' is the ego’s judgment, a rumor that the inner law cannot stand. Yet the inner I AM remains the sovereign evidence of reality; appearances are only stories that pass. When you realize you are still the one in the feast, you reverse the sense of separation. Jonathan and Abner are inner counselors and memory, witnesses to your true seat beside God. The moment you stand in that realized state, presence replaces absence, and holiness becomes your unchanging condition, irrespective of the external scene.
